The director is one of the most important people in the production. The director is responsible for taking the written script and bringing it to life. The director has to read the play and analyze it, deciding what the play is really about and what it really means. Once the director has decided this, he or she makes all the important decisions that will bring the play to life. The director has many people helping him or her, including actors, scene designers, lighting designers, and costume designers. All these people make contributions, but the director has the final say.
